[RESOLVED] Package and Deployment Problems

[brockmasterflex]

Hey all,

I have used the Package and Deployment Wizard to create an installation wizard for my application. However, the install seems to only work in WIndows XP. If I try to install the application on another machine, it will ask me to update some system files (which are out of date) and restart. After I restart though it will ask me to update and restart again, and again...... Anyone else ever have a problem with this or be able to point me in the right direction.

Thanks
BROCK

You can use Inno Script and Inno Setup. It has an Automatic System Upgrade option which will make sure that the right versions of everything are installed.
Visit www.*********** for details.

So, the built-in Package and Deployment wizard doesn't do this sort of thing for you? I have a write my own script to check for dependencies..... hmmmm, this used to work, it seems funny that is doesn't now. I guess I'll just have to look into in further, installing more software and writing more scripts will just confuse me.

Thanks,
Brock

Inno Script writes the script needed by Inno Setup. It is a good tool, written by Randem, a member here. It can do many things that the P&D Wizard can't.
It is much easier than trying to write your own installer.
